Add the following fractions:
`3 1/8,5 5/12` and `5/16`
Advertisements
Solution
`3 1/8+5 5/12+5/16`
= `(3xx8+1)/8+(5xx12+5)/12+5/16`
= `25/8+65/12+5/16` .........(L.C.M. of 8, 12 and 16 is 48)
= `(25xx6)/(8xx6)+(65xx4)/(12xx4)+(5xx3)/(16xx3)`
= `150/48+260/48+15/48`
= `(150+260+15)/48`
= `425/48=8 41/48`
